Chapter 6 - Purpose Driven Beliefs

Listen

Take a listen to the Rainbow Connection , song for a minute. Take a breath. Listen again without thinking it is Kermit and listen to the words as if your future self was singing to you. What resonates with you and gets you thinking?

Listen

Take a listen to Dancing Nancies , by the Dave Mathews Band. Whenever I hear this one, it reminds me to always be grateful for what we have and how I could have been born anywhere in the world on a much different path. Think about how this song resonates with you and what you could have been, what you can be and to begin imagining what it would mean to fully be your authentic self in the world.

Listen

Take a listen to Brandon Jenner’s song, I Believe. An uplifting tune giving us hope and simplicity in a complex world. Capture what captures you -) and make note of this for the upcoming exercise.

Listen

Imagine if you had the sheet of music that represents your purpose and the beauty that you bring to this world. Listen to the beauty of Unwritten, by Natasha Bedingfield and start writing your song to sing and live by the beat of your own drum.

Listen

Take a listen to another song for me. Listen to the words from Say, by John Mayer. Which lyrics speak to you the most? Listen 2-3 times and see what else you hear the second and third time. List out the important messages that you hear related to the words that pop for you and describe those messages in your own words that best reflect the meaning to you. Pause here to listen and reflect.

Listen

Take a listen to You Never Know, by the Dave Mathews Band. It seemed dreams were more likely within reach when I was younger. Dreams are meant to be lived out and not stuck in our heads. In what ways do you connect with this song and what dreams should you pursue?
